Rhythm. Our hearts long for it. Our minds need it. Our calendars crave it.

In a world where media grows ever louder, and optimization and efficiency demand our attention, it’s easy to desire something simpler and slower. Yet God has called us to faithful kingdom work in this very moment. Matthew exhorts us to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness (Matt 6:33). How can we learn to navigate the needs of our optimization-obsessed, digitally demanding, million-miles-a-minute culture with spiritual maturity and God-honoring tempo?

Join us this October for our fourth annual Sacred Task Pastors’ Conference. Together, we’ll explore the rhythms of pastoral ministry, helping you lead with greater clarity, endurance, and intentionality. Hear from gifted theologian-preachers as we gather for a day designed to challenge, encourage, and renew you in the pace and priorities of pastoral ministry.

Sacred Task is designed to help you be strengthened in your ministry through rich biblical wisdom and practical pastoral insight. Find refreshment for your soul through fellowship with like-minded leaders and gain renewed clarity and conviction to shepherd God’s people with thoughtful intention.

CONFERENCE LOCATION

7901 E. Shea Boulevard, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85260

Introducing an annual conference for 
pastors and ministry leaders

Hosted by Phoenix Seminary
The calling on a pastor is a noble task—one of divine calling (1 Timothy 3:1). We are confident that any lasting strength church leaders receive will come as God works by his Spirit through his Scripture. Christian ministry, from small group leaders to senior pastors, is best run at a marathon pace, and we commend this long sacrifice in the same direction. Following the Apostle Paul’s example, we “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).

This fall, our inaugural theme at Sacred Task will focus on biblical truths about endurance that can be found within the book of Philippians. Service to our Lord is to be marked not only by grit but also by gospel-rooted joy.
